Personal Projects
Nebula
An open-source, data-oriented game engine designed for high-performance 3D graphics. The entire engine is built on the principle of data-first, which means there are no objects, no inheritance, and no virtual functions, only data and logic operators working on that data. This allows Nebula to provide never before seen performance and extendability.
GPULang
GPULang is the brainchild of Nebula, a GPU programming language designed to simplify the development of shaders for game engines. What started out as a simple GLSL wrapped, called AnyFX, evolved into a full-fledged programming language. As of today, GPULang only supports emitting SPIRV, but it does so at a speed that is unmatched by any GPU compiler or high-level language.
